Static Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of an Unswept Wing and Unswept Horizontal-Tail Configuration at Mach Numbers from 0.70 to 2.22Results of an investigation of the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of an aspect-ratio-3.1, unswept wing configuration equipped with an aspect-ratio-4, unswept horizontal tail are presented without analysis for the Mach number range from 0.70 to 2.22. The hinge line of the all-movable horizontal tail was in the extended wing chord plane, 1.66 wing mean aerodynamic chords behind the reference center of moments. The ratio of the area of the exposed horizontal-tail panels to the total area of the wing was 13.3 percent and the ratio of the total areas was 19.9 percent. Data are presented at angles of attack ranging"from -6 deg to +18 deg for the horizontal tail set at angles ranging from +5 deg to -20 deg and for the tail removed.
